Then, instead ofposting variables directly to the [writefile] context, I pull them from thedatabase. So, instead of:[writefile news.htm][convertchars][paragraph] goes here.[/convertchars][/writefile]I would use the following:[append db=blah, blah, blah]paragraph=[url][paragraph][/url][/append][writefile news.htm][search db=blah, blah, blah][founditems][convertchars][paragraph] goes here.[/convertchars][/founditems][/search][/writefile]This gives me the result I want, but I'm worried about stability, due to thefact that the information is being appended to the database, then pulledback out for the [writefile] almost simultaneously.
